In this episode of Cyfoeth: The Natural Resources Wales Environment Podcast, host Llion continues the Climate Mitigation and Adaptation miniseries by exploring adaptation strategies with Harrhy James and Dr. Lucia Watts, Climate Risk and Adaptation Advisors at NRW.
The episode builds on the previous discussion about mitigation by focusing on how NRW is preparing for the present and future effects of climate change, such as extreme weather events, sea-level rise, and habitat shifts.
The guests share their personal journeys into the field and how these experiences inform their work in making Wales more climate-resilient.
Lucia and Harrhy explain that adaptation is essential to reduce climate-related risks to both people and nature. They provide practical examples, such as creating urban green spaces, growing climate resilient trees for the future and implementing coastal measures to combat "coastal squeeze."
The episode also highlights the launch of NRW’s first adaptation plan, which outlines 50 strategic actions designed to enhance community resilience, improve natural habitats, and integrate climate considerations into planning and regulation.
The episode concludes with reflections on what inspires Lucia and Harrhy in their roles, emphasising the importance of integrating science with real-world applications to safeguard Wales’ future.
